...-containing proteins, the peroxidasins are likely to be more stably associated with ECM because they are defined by the presence of other motifs typical of extracellular proteins, including leucine-rich repeats (LRRs) and immunoglobulin (Ig) domains. Drosophila Peroxidasin is expressed by blood cells...

... in the arrest of muscle migration following the arrival of myotubes at their corresponding tendon cells have yet to be elucidated. Here, we describe a novel tendon-specific transmembrane protein, which we named LRT due to the presence of a leucine-rich repeat domain (LRR) in its extracellular region. Our...

...Demian Rose; Xiaomao Zhu; Hiroyuki Kose; Bao Hoang; John Cho; Akira Chiba ABSTRACT Toll, a transmembrane molecule with extracellular leucine-rich repeats, is dynamically expressed by the Drosophila embryonic musculature. Growth cones of RP3 and other motoneurons normally grow past Toll-positive...

... using the chromatin immunopurification method. We also show that the protein product of the connectin gene is predicted to be a cell-surface molecule containing leucine-rich repeats. The protein, connectin, can mediate cell-cell adhesion thus suggesting a direct link between homeotic gene function...
